As noted by Berendt, pages 2 through 22 of this 1757 edition contain notes about changes Beltran made to the 1740 edition. It would seem however that somewhere in these pages there are also the "Dedicatoria", "Aprobaciones", "Pareceres", and "Licencias" similar to those found in the introductory pages of the "Novena", these being a standard part of religious publications of the Colonial period. As can be seen, Berendt has skiped all of this material and begins copying on page 23 of the "Doctrina".

In the following material Berendt has made various footnotes about corrections made by Beltran to the 1740 edition. These footnotes are given in the format of: "Habia antes: 1: ti caane. - 2. tac tumtabale. 3. Sª Mª. - 4. auokol. - 5. yokol. - 6. cokol. 7. citbil, que es nombre de un Idolo." These footnotes are given here separately with the notation "Berendt footnote:".

Note that the "Persignarse", which begins the Coronel "Doctrina" and also the Beltran "Doctrina" of 1866 is missing here. However, the "Persignarse" is to be found on pages 10v-11r of the "Novena".
